We received a first impact on the left back door of the car and another in the front (bumper) of the car, because the car impact made it go round and impact a fence.

I was driving 30 mph when the vehicle in front of me, going 30 mph as well, suddenly switches onto the left lane without using their turning signals in effort to avoid the parked car in front of them, leaving me little time to brake before crashing into the car. I drive a Toyota Corolla 2005 and the hood was completely bent forward along with the front sides making it hard to open the front doors, cracked head lights, bumper slightly detached, and a broken radiator. The air bags did not launch at all even though the impact required it. I was driving with a passenger who hurt their knee and I'm dealing with neck and back problems.

On November 12, 2009, my passenger and I were rear-ended at approximately 35 mph when we were stopped, waiting for someone to make a left. The airbag warning said that the airbags deployed, but they didn't and the airbag warning had to be re-calibrated to work properly. On November, 24, 2010, we were stopped, and rear-ended, and the same thing happened. On September 20, 2011, a lady stopped very suddenly in front of me. I could not stop quick enough, and rear-ended her. I was the only person in my Corolla ce. The car was totaled, and there was enough force that a back seat popped down without me releasing it (it's a pop-down back seat from the trunk). Yet, no airbags deployed. I had a headache for three days, my neck and shoulders still hurt, and my left thigh is still tender. When I paid for the vehicle and subsequent repairs, all parts should have worked including the airbags. That I am writing to you is by G-D's grace, not Toyota's. I think there should have been a massive recall, and I was never informed, but I know that there was one from searching the internet.

I was in a acident last week, someone turned left in front of me. We were going straight through the intersection. Our air bags did not deploy, a number of people (rescure personal, auto repair shop) all mentioned that were surprised the air bags did not deploy. We were going around 15 to 20 mph, I am not sure if this has happened to others or if the bags should have gone off or it this is the correct place to report it. All I can say thanks for seat belts, we would have been just more than just brusing. Sincerely,

My daughter drove a 2005 Toyota Corolla, she was in a wreck today that totaled her car, taking the front end of her car off, she was hit by a commercial size wrecker that lost control, her air bags never deployed. They should have. Toyota has to look into why the air bags do not work on these cars. My daughter brandy mcnamee is going to be ok but had the truck hit her more to her side instead of the passenger side she would have suffered with no air bags. Thank you betty.
